Sample Packs on DustStore

Posted on 28th September 2020 in Releases

Our first three sample packs are now available for download at DustStore.com!

These include a massive collection of kick drum samples and loops, a range of heavy bass tones and some classic sounds from the old Oberheim Matrix 1000 synthesiser. The samples are downloadable as high-quality 24bit 48khz WAV files or as preset racks for Ableton Live (10 Standard and Suite).

They’re all “royalty free”, so you can use them in your own music without worrying about credits or royalties. We’ve even added a freebie preview pack so you can have a peek at what’s going on:

Sample Pack 06: Drones (Vol. 2)

Posted on 1st September 2020 in Patreon, Studio & Production

In the second drone pack, we deliver 82 new tones shifting to further extremes; On one set, we toy with the unusual harmonics of complex, layered source tones, while the second explores the purity of primary waveforms. Sometimes dirty and uncomfortable, they all demonstrate beauty in raw simplicity.

This release contains two different packages: 24-bit WAV audio samples (2.1GB!) for use in any compatible music production software and a collection of Ableton Live Instrument Racks (1.2GB). It’s available for our Patreon supporters to download right now:

If you’re interested in supporting us and our work, you’ll get access to loads more too, including all of the current sample packs, our recent Allegory EPs and the demos of our forthcoming “Fragments” album. It only costs the price of a nice beer each month and there are no dirty contracts or long term commitments, so you can easily cancel your membership at any time.

Drones are a simple concept, to reduce a world of complex sounds to their core elements. This pack features 90 sustained, loopable samples, all with subtle movement throughout. Useable as single instruments, deep background elements or unique minimalist pieces to be played in their own right.

This release contains two different packages: 24-bit WAV audio samples (2.1GB!) for use in any compatible music production software and a collection of Ableton Live Instrument Racks (1.1GB).

Sample Pack 04: Pads & Synths

Posted on 4th May 2020 in News, Patreon, Studio & Production

115 Universal WAV Audio Samples and 114 Instrument Rack Presets for Ableton Live, by The Black Dog.

Powerful and unusual instrumentation has been the backbone of electronic music since it’s inception. Here we’ve created a pack of sounds designed to be interesting and highly usable, ranging from epic to abstract, and consisting of smooth pads, synthetic strings, analogue sweeps and unique tones.

The package contains two parts: 24-bit WAV audio samples for use in any compatible music production software and a collection of Ableton Live Instrument Racks.

The Ableton Live racks have been set up with basic macros to control the envelopes, low pass filters and drive. Other than that, they are left intentionally dry, with little additional processing. Anything more than that should be a creative decision for you.

Available to download now for our Patreon supporters:
